Marry potato?

How good are potatoes though, right? Fuck I'm stoned.

That's why you marry someone who cooks lots of potatoes

Potato industrial complex propaganda.

Starting to understand why my wife married me

and bread! Don't forget eating bread happiness.

Lived alone, eating basically low carb, greek style – not hungry for chips & snacks

Temporary back to mothers (farm, lots of pasta and potato and meat) – hungry for snacks, gaining weight.

Kind of weird to think that potatoes are a relatively modern cooking ingredient. Introduced to Europe from the new world, but even then a slow burner. The French had to be persuaded in the 1800s to think of them as anything but food for livestock.

This is a meme I can get behind. I would go to war for Big Potato.

So that's why Irish novels are so cheerful!

I said to my nieces "hapiness is like fire. Money, Lovers, Cars, Success... They are the sticks and logs. If you throw a log into a fire it will increase. But if there is no fire then it's just a pile of wood. You need even a little smal sparkle in you to be able to be happy with all the other stuff. If you have no sparkle, money and boyfriends are just a pile of wood"

Edit: sorry for any mistakes but I lost my glasses

Fuck carbs. Happiness comes from salads and meat. And my wife.

No poutine? What kind of Americentric nonsense is this?

When my spouse is feeling down, potatoes solve all problems.

Marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries.

I disagree. Human beings are social creatures. Happiness primarily comes from healthy interpersonal relationships, not marriage/prison. In isolation, only the insane are happy. You can downvote and try to replace all human interaction with the screens, hate, and pets, but I can see right through your BS because I've been there. Tell me sex isn't important. Maybe you're content and you keep yourself distracted by being a workaholic and BSing with the people that are paid to be around you, but that facade and those relationships end the day your employment does. The sad truth is that before the screens, people entertained each other. Now we're addicted to the screens. Everyone seems to think happiness is on the other side of one. People are convincing themselves that they don't even need other people... Just need their next fix of screen time. The people on the screens have got us afraid of each other while the crime rate is at an all time low. Got us more likely to fight our neighbors than the people that are robbing us. And taters suck, nutritionally speaking, but I'm content with 'em as long as it's 25% cheese.

Relationships don't bring happiness, but happiness comes from a partner with whom, no matter how much you argue, you understand each other, this is much more valuable than any food, but finding a truly suitable partner is comparable to a miracle, so you can consider that potatoes are still better, but not from fucking McDonald's, but the one you cooked yourself and it will be good for your health.

All hail the Great Potato!
